Lubbock County is in the process of conducting budget workshops for the upcoming fiscal year. As part of this process, the county commissioned a compensation study to assess its salary competitiveness. The study reveals mixed results, with some areas showing competitive salaries.

However, it also indicates that the county's salaries for public safety and professional positions lag behind the broader market. Further details about the study and its findings are available from the source, including information about the company contracted to conduct the study, Crowe.
